Tech for Life: Baseball

In our Tech for Life video series, Jason Snell shows you how apps, gadgets, and services can make your life easier and more enjoyable. This episode is all about our national pastime, Major League Baseball. The regular season is about to wrap up, and the playoffs are coming up soon. Before you head down to the ballpark, check out the apps and services that can help you keep track of your favorite teams, keep score in the stands, and even order food right from your seat. Bear in mind, TechHive's offices are just three blocks from AT&T Park, so you'll have to excuse Jason's obvious San Francisco Giants bias.

Products mentioned in this episode:

Follow scores, play-by-play, and listen to radio broadcasts with the MLB At Bat app.

Watch full games live on all sorts of devices, including mobile, streaming boxes, and consoles with MLB.tv. Note that MLB.tv is now $25 for the rest of the season, not $50 as mentioned in the video.

Check in to games, look at past scores, and even order food at a handful of ballparks with the At the Ballpark app.

Who needs a big pad of scoring sheets? iScore Baseball makes scoring games easy, fun, and a lot less messy.
